What groups are up now? Seems they went easy this year with layoffs so far but, I'm guessing the axe will fall when maverick rolls out - and fails.
Dell stock soars
Michael Dell just announced 10% across the board salary increase becuase of todays historic stock rise. Thanks Mike
Are you safe if there's proof you're bringing / saving money?
There's a tool I built at work that, per my director, is saving Dell $1M a year at the least in operational expense. I go away, and there's no one to manage the tool. My teammates are capable to learn coding but they've got their plates full too... — read more
Remotes ARE being trageted for layoffs now..
I've posted about this a few times and get downvoted/laughed at but I'm telling you, full remotes are being targeted now. It was only a matter of time... Dell has made it blatantly clear that they want ALL employees local to an office - as in ALL... — read more
Record profits and nothing in our pockets
More stock buybacks, not rewards to your common employees. That’s how you drive employee satisfaction even lower. To the mud we go!
Customer focus is minimal
When the he-l did we stray so far from the mission?
Has there been any credible news about more cuts?
Or are we enjoying a well-deserved break right now?
02/26/26 Finally
It’s time Dell stock becomes what it is. Bag holder stock
Does Dell give time to move internally ?
If your name is picked for layoffs, can you ask if you can get some time to try out applications for other teams ? I know that FAANG has this policy. Curious if Dell does too. This might help those who cannot get jobs elsewhere or might not want... — read more
Dell L3arning
Pretty amusing that dozens of posts that mention this organization, people’s horrid experiences, and its horrendous leadership have been deleted from this anonymous “safe space”.
Trajectory.
Frankly, the company's vacillating leadership has created nothing short of an entropic mess. Directives are obfuscated, priorities shift without warning, and any semblance of institutional cohesion has quietly dissipated. The trajectory, at its core... — read more
No point in trying too hard at this point
I'm curious what my raise will be this year considering that my group was moved to a director who has been MIA for the last year - minus his 5-7 minute 1x1s with everyone. No clue what we actually do, no idea what each individual does. The only info... — read more
What has Dell done for me in over a decade
What Dell has done for me in working for them for over a decade is realize I never want a job again where I need to “be innovated”, “find new solutions”, “help with testing”, “create processes” or anything “above and beyond”. Because that has been... — read more
We need to SELL everything and be a LAPTOP COMPANY again
That's the only strategy we need. And yes, fire everyone at the top, replace them with a bot that will help people build better and sell more laptops. That's it, a McKinsey masterpiece in two sentences. You can thank me later.
Another great year for Dell
Looks like last year was a very good year. Bonus should be good this year, cannot wait. RTO is working. Thank you all for doing the needful.
Dell is dying / dead
Everybody knows it. Continuous layoffs. Plummeting stock price. Customers pulling Dell footprint. No innovation. No enterprise solution portfolio worh a sh-t. Quality hemoraging. Support on life support. Clueless leadership. No AI relevance. Just... — read more
New Comp (Ripoff) Plan
Dell has changed, they are no longer the company we once knew and loved. When a system shifts risk to employees, the experience changes and the job starts to su-k more. Stress becomes structural, not situational The math starts working against... — read more
RTO is d-mb af
Yes, I know it's been a year and change but it's pointless for some of us. I get the RTO for certain teams I suppose but for those who are on teams/orgs that are literally GLOBAL it makes zero sense. I drive an hour to work daily only to... — read more

I’m in medium business and it’s Time to start telling customers to go to competitors.
Thoughts on Dell/NVDIA Partnership?
What are your thoughts on our partnership with NVDIA? does this have a potential to put is in a position where we finally get some growth. Honestly , I think the most of our problems stem from the fact that our growth is su-ky and maybe we can catch... — read more
Kudos JC & His Phalanx!
For taking our well performing stock value from the high of $179 to an even more winning $119...
Sooner or later it’s over
Dell is meant to be broken in the stock market. Everything feels like a Dell crash
10/31/25
since 10/31/25 Dell lost half its market value in the capital markets
02/26/26
Dell same ole lines used in the last two conf calls to avoid the stock crashing. Dell is a 15 billion dollar company at best. Bears eat

Why is everyone in Kyle L’s Org a Vice President? That’s excessive.

The salaries in the Office of CTO is quite high
Do they bring in a lot of money? The total comp without stocks is going for 200$k+ for AI roles [i8 and above] I'm thinking of internally applying but can't seem to shake the feeling there's a catch I'm missing. Is this department prone to layoffs... — read more
Class action lawsuit on product that doesn’t ship
Class action lawsuit coming soon to Michael Dells desk for review. Count up all your revenue that is Pending Production….we have 3 months to get ever shipped out to hit our attainment to make our commission.. if we don’t hit 60%, then we owe back to... — read more
Dell undeniably discriminates based on age
Let's prove it, shall we? For those of you who have seen layoffs in your groups and orgs over the past year+, what percentage of those WFRs would you say were over 40?
Is this how layoffs really work?
I read somewhere that layoffs fall into different categories depending on the reason. Like head count cuts target lower performers, budget cuts go after expensive but replaceable people, and big tech rounds are more about politics. Division closures... — read more
What was the SCP prior to the new change?
Apparently it's a 60% quota and if you don't hit that then you don't get commission. If you get it - specifically 100+ then you get paid a LOT So what was it prior?
Curious how merit increases will be this year
Last Spring they basically demoted all the Sr managers and everyone got put under a director for the most part... Those directors suddenly had a minimum of 20 directs and, managing at least two entirely different teams. Meaning that the director... — read more
Dell enterprise software group is a collosal failure
Can anyone name an enterprise software solution Dell has developed organically, or acquired, in which they didn't miss the mark by a mile or drive an acquired solution into the ground? x400 - failure DM5500 - failure Santorini - failure Hydra -... — read more
I'm curious on what JC has done for Dell.
How is he here for so long ? I'm sure he must have had his wins. What exactly were they ? What's his story ?
New Target - 11$
Yes, that's the message That's the EPS
new leadership and direction is needed
leadership havent evolved in the last 10+ years. For a company that is hyper focused on money making strategy over and above technology strategy, the pivot should be to high margin software. IBM and HPE constantly acquire software companies and are... — read more
Venmo on signatures
Hey everyone should put Venmo QR codes on their email signature!! I guarantee you all that you would make more in tips from your customers than in commission!!!!
10 more selling wks to go!
3wks working my ar-e off, and seeing zero chance of getting to 100%. While the past wks revenue wise have been fairly promising, not a single cent has shipped. This SCP su-ks and they can shove these 25% draws. The irony here is that I will owe them... — read more
Layoffs are targeted but not "random"
A lot of people here claim that layoffs are "random" but I disagree. I DO think that managers are told to get rid of certain types of people, though (if they are asked to submit people that is...) AKA ultra veterans (15+ years at Dell,) above a... — read more
